Remote sensing is the science of making measurements from a distance. It typically
involves the use of satellite images to gather knowledge over large areas. By supporting
the acquisition of dense and diverse data, remote sensing is a cornerstone of geospatial
sciences and a very dynamic industry. This paper provides elementary and in-depth
knowledge to comprehend, process and analyse such data. It also addresses photogrammetry,
the science of making measurements from stereo-images.

Photogrammetry
module - The photogrammetry module covers the following topics:

Fundamental
principles of aerial photography

Conventional film-based and digital imaging
systems

Camera calibration

Vertical aerial imagery

Parallel
and convergent close-range imagery

Data extraction from monoscopic and stereoscopic
photographs

Production of orthoimages

Photogrammetric applications

Teaching Arrangements

The theoretical content of this paper is addressed over four hours of lectures weekly.

Practical
experience is gained during 8 practical sessions in a well-equipped computer laboratory.
This involves the use and manipulation of satellite imagery, as well as the completion
of a photogrammetry project.

Textbooks

Textbooks are not required for this paper.

Lecture notes are available
for purchase at the start of the semester.
